XtendÒ; TSPOT.TBÒ; Lithium heparin; IGRA; Interferon gamma; Tuberculosis KEYWORDS Summary Vacutainer CPT tubes require blood samples for TSPOT.TB to be processed within 8 h. In this study we evaluated the ability of T-Cell Xtend to maintain the number and function of lymphocytes after 24 and 48 h of blood storage‚ giving similar test results as in freshly isolated specimens. Methods: Whole blood specimens from 59 individuals were collected in Vacutainer CPT tubes (CPT) and lithium heparin (LH) tubes

The Periodic Properties of Atoms The Periodic Table: In the 1870’s‚ the Russian chemist Mendeleev developed the periodic table‚ based upon the relationship between the atomic weights of the elements and their chemical properties. As one ascends from lightest to heaviest elements‚ there is a periodic recurrence of chemical properties. For example‚ the elements with atomic numbers 2‚ 10‚ 18‚ 36‚ 54‚ and 86 all are chemically inert (the noble gases)‚ while those with atomic numbers one greater 3‚ 11

Kay Redfield Jamison‚ born in 1956‚ starts the book vividly describing her standing outside in the playground‚ just outside of Washington‚ looking up at the skies‚ just as many of the other children would do because‚ like them‚ she was a daughter of a man who was in the Air Force.
